Isochoric and Isobaric Processes

A thermodynamic process that occurs at constant volume is called an isochoric process. According to the first law of thermodynamics, heat supplied or removed from the system is partially utilized to perform work and change the internal energy of the system. However, in an isochoric process, the volume remains constant. Hence, the work done by the system is zero. Therefore, the exchange of heat changes the internal energy of the system only.

Parametric Surfaces

A parametric surface in three-dimensional space is defined through a vector-valued function\begin{equation*}\mathbf{r}(u, v) = x(u, v)\mathbf{i} + y(u, v)\mathbf{j} + z(u, v)\mathbf{k}\end{equation*}where u and v are parameters within a specified domain D in the uv-plane. The functions x(u, v), y(u, v), and z(u, v) define the coordinates of points on the surface. As u and v vary over D, the position vector r(u, v) traces a continuous surface in space. This parametric representation is essential...
Equipotential Surfaces and Field Lines01:29

Equipotential Surfaces and Field Lines

Electric potential can be pictorially represented as a three-dimensional surface. On such a surface, the electric potential is constant everywhere. The equipotential surface is always perpendicular to the electric field lines, and while it is three-dimensional, it can be treated as an equipotential line in a two-dimensional case. These equipotential lines are also always perpendicular to electric field lines. The term equipotential is often used as a noun, referring to an equipotential line or...
Oriented Surfaces01:30

Oriented Surfaces

A surface is called orientable if a consistent choice of unit normal vector can be made at every point on the surface. A thin soap film stretched across a wire loop provides a familiar example. The film separates the air on one side from the air on the other, so one side can be selected as positive and the opposite side as negative. Once this choice is made, a unit normal vector can be assigned smoothly across the entire surface.At each point on the soap film, a unit normal vector points...
Tangent Planes to Surfaces01:19

Tangent Planes to Surfaces

In multivariable calculus, the concept of a tangent plane plays a central role in approximating curved surfaces. When dealing with a surface defined by a function of two variables, such as z = f(x, y), the tangent plane at a given point provides the best linear approximation to the surface near that point. This local linearization allows complex, nonlinear geometries to be treated using simpler, planar models.The construction of the tangent plane involves taking vertical slices of the surface...
Quadric Surfaces01:28

Quadric Surfaces

Quadric surfaces are three-dimensional surfaces characterized by second-degree equations in the variables x, y, and z. These surfaces are smooth and continuous, and specific combinations of squared and linear terms define their shapes. The main types of quadric surfaces include ellipsoids, cones, paraboloids, and hyperboloids. Each type exhibits distinct geometric features depending on how the variables are arranged and related within the equation.Ellipsoids are closed surfaces formed when all...
